Epic Recs: February

Epic Recs is hosted by Judith at Paper Riot and Amber at Books of Amber. It's where you pair up with a reader friend and recommend (*cough*force*cough*) a book to them. As Judith says, it's like truth or dare without the truth. 

 

I'm pairing up with my brain twin Molli from Books and Whimsy. We’re always recommending books to each other but rarely actually read them for whatever reason. We’ve made a goal/promise to ourselves and each other to read more ‘me’ books in 2014. We both got bogged down with review books in 2013 and need to get back to reading more for pleasure, so we thought Epic Recs would help...plus then we don't have to constantly listen to each other saying "Read this book. When are you going to read this book? Have you read this book yet?"

 

In January, Molli made me read If You Find Me by Emily Murdoch, and I made her read Amy and Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson. And? Our first month was a huge success. We both loved the books the other recommended...so much so that we each gave them 5 stars. See? Brain twins. Neither of us has posted our reviews yet, but be on the lookout for them soon.

 

 For February, Molli is making me read Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver (because she likes to make me cry), and I'm making her read Scarlet by AC Gaughen (because it's one of the BEST BOOKS EVER).

 

 

 

Have you read any of these books? What did you think?

Top 10 Tuesday: Books everyone has read but me

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. It was created because of their love of lists and books, and since I love those things too, I thought it'd be a fun meme to participate in!

Top Ten Books I Feel As Though Everyone Has Read But Me

It seems like at least half the bloggers I come across have read these books. All of these are on my TBR list, I just haven’t gotten to them yet for one reason or another. I’m hoping to read quite a few of these next month for my 2011 Spooktacular October Paranormal Reading Challenge.

1. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

2. The Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead

3. The Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost

4. If I Stay and Where She Went by Gayle Forman

5. Die For Me by Amy Plum

6. The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare

7. The Morganville Vampire series by Rachel Caine

8. Delirium by Lauren Oliver

9. Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare

10. The Help by Kathryn Stockett
